Schedule

Here’s your roadmap for the year!

Every class session has four important sections. You should read about the details for each using the main menu at the top of this webpage.

• Prepare (): This page overviews the weeks

• Lecture slides (): This page is for lectures

• Lab activities (): This page is about labs

• Reading (): This page is about Extras

• Mini-Diss (): This page contains an interactive lesson that teaches you the principles and code you need to know. Go through these after doing the content.

tl;dr: You should follow this general process each week:

• Check out the overview () page and do any thinking/reading/prep suggested if you have the chance
• Come to the lecture () page
• Attend the lab () and get cracking
• Use the plentiful Mini-Diss resources () to help you smash the MD
